Rothenburg is a medieval town and has the longest still intact wall surrounding the inner city itself. Quite an impressive town with its half timbered houses, cobblestone lanes and picturesque settings.
After our city tour and orientation, we had free time, there was a soft drizzle of rain and not many of the shops were opened.
I found a patchwork store, sadly it was closed over the new year period.
The wall is still intact

These are called snowballs, a speciality to the area, quite tasteless actually

A very happy new year from Heathton Creations.
Miltenberg, apparently one straight out of a fairytale book with its main streets full of cute little half timbered houses. We did a walking culinary.tour and got the opportunity to sample some sausage, schnapps and chocolate.
An angel moment.

I got the opportunity to meet this artist, his paintings are very risqué, too rude to post, but I did buy a painted bird and had a lovely time chatting to him, he was interested in knowing if I was from Perth or Sydney.
Lovely streets
